Last weekend was an incredibly special one. After two whole years of waiting, our lovely clients, Cali-Anne and Derek, were finally able to celebrate their love for one another and tie the knot in a spectacular celebration that lasted two whole days!
Like many brides and grooms from the last 24 months, the pair had been forced to postpone their special day due to the pandemic. But this only made them (and their guests) all the more excited to celebrate when the time finally came!
Handling the catering for this event on both days was a huge honour for Hog Roast Eggborough, and seeing the results after such a long wait was incredibly rewarding; especially for our catering manager, Jon, who had been the one to help the couple come up with a menu that was unique to their big day.
The duo had wanted their menu to complement the charming and idyllic country home that they had hired for the occasion, and Hog Roast Eggborough went above and beyond to give them the perfect feast.
On the first day, which was the day of the wedding, we served a formal three-course dining solution, which offered guests a delicious soup starter, followed by a choice of whole-roasted free-range pork, spit-roasted English lamb or grilled veggie skewers. Each main course option was offered with salad, potatoes and fresh market vegetables and chased down with vacherins of strawberries and passion fruit cream or sticky toffee pudding for dessert.
The following day was when the big wedding after-party took place, and with the celebrations being more free-flowing and relaxed that day, Cali-Anne and Derek had wanted a menu to match that vibe. What Jon and the Hog Roast Eggborough team came up with was a custom buffet, which provided guests with a mixture of canapé options, antipasti platters and hog roast rolls to choose from. There were also additional side options, like those from the previous day, as well as fresh-cut sandwiches, hot dogs and handmade beef burgers.
The wedding party was incredibly impressed with the food on offer on both days, which helped to keep their energy levels up as they laughed, danced and chatted the weekend away.
